This guest editorial was published in the Winston-Salem Journal by PEC  Southern Provincial President Bob Sawyer. Sawyer responds to public questions that continued to be raised about the PEC's and Moravian position  on salvation. Is Sawyer  stating that our message to the world is  "salvation is only through Christ"? Should that be our message?

Sawyer mentions the greater importance of commitment to Christ as Lord, but states that responsibilities to the province are not optional. Authority of  Christ and his word are placed on a weighted scale but the authority of the province is mandatory. How can we resolve a dilemma when these two authorities appear to be in conflict and can not be weighed against each other.
